Hi! So I put a cannula in at around lunchtime today, must have been in wrong or something because it was constantly hurting, I took it out at around 5pm and it bled a bit (very unusual for me) and now I'm left with a sore, small bump where it was in, should I get this checked out tomorrow? Or just see how it goes?? Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place- I'm new!!! Thanks

I've had that before - or something similar, at least. I left mine but kept it clean and checked it a number of times during the day just to make sure it wasn't getting inflamed or infected. It was fine, but did get itchy at one point as it healed. It also had a tiny, dark bruise.
Keep an eye on it and get advice if you're at all concerned. It should be fine
